Gavin Newsom signed a bill into law that prevents schools from notifying parents if their children start identifying as another gender or using new pronouns.
California calls this “forced outing,” meaning that the schools “out” the children for transgender ideology to their parents. Some school districts had policies that required the schools to inform the parents of their children’s attempts to transition genders. California now forbids districts from doing this.
According to California, that is not the parents’ business until the child is ready because, the bill says, “it can be harmful to force young people to share their full identities before they are ready.” The data shows that it can be harmful to children to transition at all but California is ignoring that data.
Elon Musk says that this bill is the final straw for his companies that are headquartered in California. He will move SpaceX and X headquarters out of California to Texas. Gender ideology is not the only push factor, he says. He says that he and his employees “have had enough of dodging gangs of violent drug addicts just to get in and out of the building.”
